MindfooD Log #1
This is your captain speaking.
After many years being avid crew members (audience) of many visiting craft to London for many years we decided to train and assemble a craft of our own. The first incarnation started of with two members and grew to a crew of four and flew under the banner of Cluster B. Initially we employed the well tried and tested sonic strategies of the captains and craft who are now well grained into our musical synapses. During augustus perilious 0013 AZ (After Zappa) which was named because there was no wind and we drifted aimlessly, we encountered a new dimension that we decided to cross. Whilst crossing this dimension a mutinity occoured and two of the crew jumped ship. However we lacked discipline and could not march - the engines were quiet. Word was put out and a chance meeting in cyber space revealed an able helmsman. Initial flight test with new drummer "Royspeedking" who joined "Johnbassman" and "Stevesonicson" were highly excitng and they have set course for new adventures in space. MindfooD was Created.
MindfooD Log 2
This is your captain speaking.
"Royspeedking", "Johnbassman" and "Stevesonicson" embarked upon a stringent training schedule in order to be able to survive the rigours of deep space. We discovered that our new engine room was so efficient we could reach the desired points in space in a fraction of the time it took in our previous craft. These flight were highly educational. We did however, discover an area of the sonic soundscape that required attention. Our flight was indeed fast and efficient but it was not smooth. We sent out a deep space request beacon into the furthest reaches of the quadrant for a keyboardist. Some sixty days later we had a response from the outer limits and an engineer keyboardist named “Michaelsoundscaper” joined the crew. The second of our two short flights thus far proved so sonically satisfying we decided that the crew was now complete.
Please join us fellow traveller as we continue to cross into this New Dimension. These first sonic charts will be amended as we collect data and analyse the course we are on for improved sonic enjoyment.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We will play live when we have enough material. Watch out! Lol
